INTRODUCTION OF SANDAKPHU (AND VIEW FROM SANDAKPHU) The name Sandakphu means the 'Height of the Poison Plant', a direct reference to the profusion of the poisonous aconite plants that grow near the peak. The loftiest peak of the Singalila Range, Sandakphu is the culminating point of many trekking routes in the Darjeeling - Sikkim region. At an altitude of 3,636 m, it is located at a distance of 58 km. from Darjeeling. Trek to Sandakphu starts from Maneybhanjan, a small town near Darjeeling . Maneybhanjan can be reached from Siliguri via Ghoom / Darjeeling. After necessary entries in the Immigration check post and the last minute shopping and meal, the trek begins. You may also opt for overnight stay at Maneybhanjan to start the trek early next day. Sandakphu epitomizes the wild elemental grandeur of the snows. Nature here is at her pristine best, and the vista at the top is worth all the hardship endured on the way. Aptly called the Paradise of Trekkers, the peak

History of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway The   Darjeeling Himalayan Railway   (DHR), nicknamed the "Toy Train", is a   2 ft   ( 610 mm )   narrow-gauge   railway from   Siliguri   to Darjeeling   connecting two districts, Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling, in the   Indian   state   of   West Bengal , run by the   Indian Railways . The DHR is the very first hill railway in India, and one of the first ones in the world (the   Semmering Railway , constructed between 1848 and 1854, was the first). Established since 1881, the “toy train” is operating and retaining most of its original features and values until today.In the mid-19th century, the British rulers built a recovery home away from home in the Himalayan city Darjeeling where the stress of colonial rule and the hot Indian climate could be put away for the summer.
